I want to introduce JaRoet Outliner to you. A local-first Outliner that you can run by copying 1 file to a folder of choice and then start using it.

For the very first time you run it an internet connection is needed to download some libraries it uses (react, react-dom, dexie.js).
After that initial load everything is local and no internet is needed.

Being an outliner it allows you to store information in a bullet list style and it also has a Daily Journal function (hotkey is CTRL-J).

In the ZIP file of the release on the Github page there are 2 JSON files you can import in the app. A help-documentation.json that imports some documentation (read it to learn the hotkeys and more) and a demo.json file that imports an example outline to illustrate how you can use it.

I wrote a little more on the github readme file but I am still in the process of setting op Github Pages to have nice website.

As I am not a developer I created the app using Google AI Studio and the results were far greater then I expected. The app is far from being done but fully usable and being keyboard-focused I can navigate and work on my outline very easy and fast.

As we are all CRIMPers and we all like Outliner Software I invite you to check it out. I will keep working on it for my personal user but would love to hear if you tried it and how it went. Discuss here or in the discussions tab on the Github repo. Love to hear from you ...
